Patient's question:
The first time I flipped the foreskin was when it wasn't erect and being cleaned. After flipping it, the surface was a layer of white, and when I let go, it went back. Afterwards, I could flip it again. Previously, it hurt a lot when I flipped it. The foreskin opening is a bit red now. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
You have phimosis, and those white substances are smegma. It is recommended that you flip open your foreskin daily, clean the smegma thoroughly, and prevent balanitis. Additionally, you can consider surgical removal of the foreskin at a later date. Phimosis can be relieved, but the treatment period is generally long, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, it is crucial to actively cooperate with your doctor's medication plan. Additionally, patients should maintain a light diet, avoid foods, and not smoke or drink beer.
